11. CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION

Contingent consideration is comprised of two contingent payments that the Company is obligated to pay the former shareholders of Bogs. The estimate of contingent consideration is formula-driven and is based on Bogs achieving certain levels of gross margin dollars between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2015. The first contingent payment was due in 2013 and was paid on March 28, 2013 in the amount of $1,270,000. The second payment is due in March 2016. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company remeasures its estimate of the fair value of the contingent payments at each reporting date. The change in fair value is recognized in earnings.
The Company’s estimate of the fair value of the contingent payments as recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets was as follows:

The current portion of contingent consideration was included within other accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The long-term portion was recorded within other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total contingent consideration has been assigned to the Company’s wholesale segment.
The following table summarizes the activity during 2013 and 2012 related to the contingent payments as recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings (dollars in thousands):

The net losses (gains) on remeasurement of contingent consideration were recorded within selling and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a level 3 valuation as defined by ASC 820. The fair value measurement was determined using a probability-weighted model which includes various estimates related to Bogs future sales levels and gross margins. As of December 31, 2013, management estimates that the range of reasonably possible potential amounts for the second payment is between $2 million and $7 million.
